Thioglycolic acid, also known as mercaptoacetic acid, is the simplest and industrially most important mercaptocarboxylic acid with the formula HSCH2COOH. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor.
Gluconic acid, also known as 1,2,3,4,5-pentahydroxy pentane-1-carboxylic acid, is an organic acid with the formula C6H12O7. It is a white, odorless, crystalline powder that is naturally found in humans and other organisms and also in food products such as wine and honey.
Fluorosulfuric acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HSO3F. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a stinging odor that fumes readily in moist air. It is recognized as one of the strongest acids commercially available.
Nitrilotriacetic acid, also known as NTA or N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)glycine, is a tricarboxylic acid with the formula C6H9NO6. It is a colorless solid that belongs to the family of aminopolycarboxylic acids and is one of the most important chelating agents, along with EDTA.
The trans, trans isomer of 2,4-hexadienoic acid, commonly known as sorbic acid, is a short-chain unsaturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C6H8O2. It is a naturally occurring organic acid that appears as colorless solid with a faint odor.
Sulfamic acid, also known as amidosulfuric acid, is a strong inorganic acid with the chemical formula H3NSO3. It is a white, odorless, crystalline, and nonhygroscopic solid that is strongly dissociated in water.
L-ascorbic acid, also known as (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-2H-furan-5-one, is the IUPAC designation for vitamin C. It is a white or odorless powder or crystal with an acidic taste that is found in nature and has antiscorbutic activity, meaning it prevents scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.
Malononitrile, also known as propanedinitrile, malonic acid dinitrile, or dicyanomethane, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H2N2. It is a colorless or white solid that is a valuable building block used extensively in organic synthesis.
Cyanuric chloride, also known as 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, is an organic compound with the formula C3N3Cl3. It appears as a colorless, crystalline solid with a pungent odor. It is the chlorinated derivative of 1,3,5-triazine and the trimer of cyanogen chloride.
Methanoic acid, better known as formic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid with the formula HCOOH. It is a colorless, corrosive liquid with a pungent odor that is completely miscible with water and many polar solvents but only partially miscible with hydrocarbons.
Cyanuric acid, also known as 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, is an odorless white crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C3H3N3O3. It is a cyclic trimer that interconverts between several structures via lactam-lactim tautomerism.
Malonic acid, also known as propanedioic acid or methanedicarboxylic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C3H4O4. It is a colorless, hygroscopic solid that sublimes in a vacuum. The ionized form of malonic acid, as well as its esters and salts, are known as malonates.
